Antimicrobial technology for hospitality

Bacteria in high-traffic, shared areas in the hospitality sector can spread rapidly posing a risk of infection for vulnerable guests in restaurants, hotels, care homes and even cruise liners.

Whether it’s a bout of food poisoning on holiday or a Norovirus outbreak affecting a restaurant chain on a national scale, poor hygiene levels can incur financial and reputational repercussions for trade as well as posing a health risk to customers.

The spread of food poisoning causing bacteria or Norovirus can be curtailed by guests and staff practicing good hand hygiene and ensuring that regular, thorough cleaning takes place.

Whilst the behaviour of guests cannot always be guaranteed, cleaning regimes can be complemented with Biomaster antimicrobial technology, to reduce the risk of bacterial cross-contamination in high-traffic areas.

Antimicrobial menu cards and touchpoints

Menus are one of the most commonly shared items in a restaurant, and with studies suggesting that up to 65% of people do not wash their hands before eating, they can be a major exposure pathway for bacteria including E. coli and MRSA.

Incorporating Biomaster antimicrobial technology into the menu cards, table settings and trays or touchscreen order points provides around the clock protection from harmful microbes in-between cleans.

Antimicrobial fabric treatment

Norovirus is the most common cause of infectious gastrointestinal illness in the UK and as it can spread quickly and infect at low doses, an outbreak in enclosed public areas can be devastating for cruise ships, hotels and restaurants alike.

The Biomaster Hygiene Control Fabric Spray has been tested to be up to 99% effective against Norovirus and can be applied to all types of soft furnishings including chairs, curtains, carpets and linens.

How Biomaster Works

Biomaster additives works to inhibit the growth of active bacteria

Biomaster can be added at any stage of the manufacturing process and is available in masterbatch, liquid or powder formulations for plastics, textiles, paper and coatings.

When bacteria come into contact with a Biomaster protected surface, the active antimicrobial agent prevents them from growing, producing energy or replicating, inhibiting any further growth.

The controlled release of the active ingredient provides powerful, effective antimicrobial protection for the lifetime of the product.

Independent testing and free of charge samples

Highly effective at low addition rates, Biomaster has been tested in hundreds of applications to provide up to 99.99% reduction against harmful bacteria including E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, Campylobacter and MRSA amongst others.

We can provide free-of-charge antimicrobial samples for you to test to ensure that incorporating Biomaster antimicrobial technology into your range of hospitality or food service products is as straightforward as possible.
